The vampire Count Saint-Germain, disguised as a missing Hungarian nobleman, is on a spy mission in the heart of Czarist Russia.

Almost by the power of his will alone, it seems, Peter the Great is wrestling the city that will one day be St. Petersburg out of swampland.

Representatives of the heads of all European states are living in tiny, frigid, wooden homes as they jockey for power and influence over the Czar.

When a man shows up claiming to be the Count Saint-Germain, the vampire must figure out how to protect his title and wealth without revealing either is true identity or his True Nature.

Reviews

“Absorbing.

The setting is authentic down to the smallest detail.

History buffs will be thrilled.” —Romantic Times BOOKreviews (4 ½ stars) on Roman Dusk

“A darkly poetic blend of historical fiction, erotic romance, and literary horror.

One of the beauties of Yarbro’s Saint-Germain saga is that every novel is basically a stand-alone story.

Those looking for a highly intelligent, tastefully understated erotic horror will be absolutely blown away.” —BookPage on Roman Dusk

“States of Grace is without a doubt one of the finest novels I’ve read in quite a while.

It is rich and heady in plot and sensory imagery.” —HorrorWorld.org
